I just did a job for a customer who was in a big hurry and told me to do the job on a T&M basis and send her the bill. The work consisted of installing 5 new paddle fans including new switches. None of the locations had existing wiring, boxes or switches. I installed new rated fan boxes, wiring feeds and 3-wire switch legs fished down walls as well as sw.boxes and switches. The walls and ceilings were 1" thick wood lathe and plaster. Also there was limited room in attic. The customer supplied the fans. The total came to $1250.00 including permit ( I rounded down), thats $250 per fan, including a trip back to hang the fans that were not there when I finished the wiring. The customer said the price was too high and refuses to pay me, I guess we will go to court. Before you say so, I DO know better, one of the oldest tricks in the book, get the work done and THEN decide what you want to pay. I had 2 men 10 hrs. 8 for rough and 2hrs. to come back and hang the fans plus 200 in material. What would you guys charge for this job, I feel my price was fair if not on the low side, any feedback would be appreciated.
